Description

wood,
The Saramaka are one of six “Maroon” peoples living in the Republic of Suriname and neighbouring French Guyana.

The Suriname “Maroons” were originally sub Saharan African slaves that were brought to and escaped from the Caribbean plantations. They fled to the hills where they established their own villages far beyond the the Spanish “authorities” who then ruled the Caribbean Islands at the time.
